Drinking Music for the weekend

2012/11/09 by Jim Leave a Comment

Earlier this year I wrote a post on my other site, I Grok Grog, about good beer music and reposted it here. Well I’d always intended to do it up as a full podcast but those take effort and time, time that could be better spent actually drinking and listening to music. But some of the … [Read more…]

Good Beer Music

2012/03/16 by Jim 1 Comment

crossposted from I Grok Grog I like beer. I like music. But for some reason, when you put the two together, it often turns out badly. Let’s face it, there are a lot of jackass beer songs out there. From that beer song that everybody claims is by Weird Al when you know it totally … [Read more…]

A Blaze in a Northern Town*

2011/04/18 by Jim Leave a Comment

From time to time, I run across something on the internet that is so amazing, it needs to be shared. And though I have had nothing to do with its creation, I want to put my stamp on it, I want to say HEY, dudes, here it is, I brought this to you. Today, I … [Read more…]

My new favorite thing in the whole of today

Who knew Immortal had a new video?  I did not.  This is incredible, clearly a descendant of the ludicrousness of “Call of the Wintermoon” and yet undeniably awesome.  Enjoy Yes, I know, this album came out last year, this video came out months ago. I just saw it today and it rules.

Strong On His Mountain

2008/04/02 by Jim Leave a Comment

I think the reason Aaron even asked me to do some shows here on Radio Gen1us in the first place is ’cause he was hoping I’d do a metal show. ‘Cause I am totally metal. Believe it. Anyway, now I’ve gone and done it and god help those of you who listen. Metal is not … [Read more…]
